@JohnLorinc @fordnation They want feedback let them have feedback!

Gave myself a 3min max to write this, because I have better things to do with my time... probably also true of the provincial government but what do I know, I'm just a guy with 10 years of experience in city planning & urban design 😤

@IIutoronto @UnitedWay As for my own research with @UofTCities & @CCA I've been exploring the multi-generational connection to place, space, and community I'm realizing that this CLT work I'm involved in is an extension of a family tradition that goes back generations... but more on that later 😜

@BlairScorgie @alexbozikovic Those parking lots are huge - enough space for significant development without demolishing the Science Centre

1980's saw high immigration to Toronto. Brought with them knowledge and sounds of their respective cultures. Created a fusion. Might not be "original", but appreciation of different cultures was Toronto's sound and we should be proud of it.

Teachers. Dads can be mysterious creatures. I look in the mirror and see his features.

But what about him? This is the only the second year without him.
